This is the first new material the band have recorded since they tear up in 1989.
Following much speculation, they announced their comeback Reformation Tour on board HMS Belfast in March 2009.
Starting in October, they are playing eight dates across UK and Ireland, including the O2 Arena in London.
Tickets for the O2 show sold out within 20 minutes of going on sale and an extra 2 dates were added.
Singer Tony Hadley says: “When we got back together and the tour dates went on sale, none of us could believe the fantastic reaction we got from fans and the press alike. When the chance came to get into a studio and play music together, we couldn’t pass it up.
Gary Kemp continues: “The band gelled instantly and we instantly played better than we did even back in the day. The new song was a way for us to gig that Spandau Ballet are back, not just to play the hits on tour but also to take on our contemporaries in the pop charts.”
